Jim,
How much do you figure you spend per pair per year on tubs and salt? Never feed tubs here except replacement heifers on cornstalks for 2-3 months a year. Does this end up similar to feeding loose mineral and salt on a yearly basis? I've been feeding 1/2 loose mineral 1/2 loose salt mix free choice and end up using around 1.25 bags of each per pair per year. So around $30-32 a year.
